My mother has been taking Eltroxin 50 microgram every morning on an empty stomach. Recently, she has been experiencing heart palpitations, anxiety, and a fast heart rate. Her recent thyroid test results are T3 (Total) is 0.7 (Normal is 0.7 to 2) T4 (Total) is 15.16 (Normal is 5 to 12) TSH is 1.72 (Normal is 0.55 to 4.7) Should her Eltroxin dose be reduced?

High T4 and symptoms may suggest overtreatment. TSH is normal but on lower side. Review dose with her doctor; dose adjustment may help.

I got my report today. It says LH level 13.36, Prolactin 28.45 and TSH 5.970. What does it mean? Do I have infertility?

Namaste sir, my name is Uma. I am using Thyiox 62.5 MCG since 6 months. Yesterday I did a thyroid test. Please see my report and suggest whether to use the same dose or make any changes?

I have full joint pain in my elbows, knees, shoulders, and other joints. At night, I am not able to sleep due to the pain. I feel very tired and sometimes have fever. My RA test report is positive. I also have a thyroid TSH level of 7.54.
